Na Muang Waterfall, Koh Samui - Thailand

Deep in the heart of Koh Samui, the two waterfalls of Na Muang are one of the few attractions to tempt people off the beaches. The busy safari park near the entrance has elephant and other animal shows throughout the day and there are elephant rides through the surrounding jungle.

The waterfalls themselves are located a steep trek uphill from the safari park, through the vine clad jungle. They cascade some 60m down the hillside and are much bigger than they first look – it's only when you see other people at the upper levels that you realise the scale of them. The final steep stretch to the top has ropes to assist you and has really nice views out to sea and over the outlying islands.

Some of the plunge pools are good for a dip – while not big enough to swim in, they are still great for cooling off.
